Javascript is employed to add some minimal styling effects to the menu bars.
Each form on the website uses Javascript for data validation. With Javascript disabled, this client side validation will not work and the form will still be submitted successfully and validation will take place on the server.
The Gallery page uses Javascript to display images without reloading the page. With Javascript disabled the images will instead load in a new window.
